Paper II- Constitutional Government and Democracy in India

(1.2) Core Course - (CC) Credit:6

Course Objective The aim of this course is to enable students to gain knowledge about the constitutional design as well as the empirical practice of state structures and institutions. The Indian Constitution accommodates divergent theoretical impulses (liberty and equality with a focus on justice, territorial decentralization and a unitary federation, development alongside democracy) within itself. The course traces the embodiment of some of these conflicts in constitutional provisions,

7

and demonstrates how these have played out in political practice. It encourages a study of the mutual interaction of various institutions of the state as well as their interaction with the larger extra-constitutional environment. The course is expected to enable students to develop the ability to construct rigorous arguments on Indian politics, based on empirical knowledge and informed by a critical awareness of the scholarly literature on the subject. In addition, the course explains the complex ways in which the emergency provisions work and how security laws may be understood within the larger constitutional framework. Course Learning Outcomes At the end of the course, students shall:

• be familiarized with the debates around the origin, and evolution of the Indian constitution.

• become aware of the manner in which government functions through its various organs. • understand the division of power between various organs of the government at different

levels. This course enables students to develop an understanding of the tenets of Indian constitutionalism by engaging with Constituent Assembly debates. It enables them to understand the working of different organs of government and analyse the interaction amongst them which often involves both conflict and cooperation. Moreover, it enables the students to understand the division of powers in Indian federal set-up and its asymmetrical federal arrangements, with special emphasis on the special provisions for governance in fifth and sixth schedules of the constitution. The students are also familiarized with the process of rural and urban governance and the dynamics of gender and caste in these domains. The students would also become familiar with challenges of addressing emergency conditions and security concerns within the constitutional framework.
